Minnesota State to revoke anti-Muslim license plate

This is nothing compared with the extreme and hateful anti-American and anti-Jewish slogans you find all across the Middle East, and that you hear on TV, on the radio and read in the papers and comment fields all the time, and fully encouraged by the governments. The idea that they should ever ban their hate speech would be unthinkable to them. You, the infidel however, must not say anything that remotely could even begin to insult them. Remember, this is a one-way street.

Minnesota is the headquarters of Somali (“refugee”) welfare spongers. The Twin cities have roughly 30,000 Somali Muslims. Reports have described violent Muslim extremism as bubbling up within the local Somali community over the past few years, especially as a result of the 2006 conflict between Ethiopia and Somalia.

The office of Minnesota’s US attorney, Andrew Luger, said in September 2015 that groups “like the Islamic State” had since exclusively targeted the local Somali community.

“Since Al Shabaab began recruiting Minnesota’s youth in 2006, the Twin Cities have been a focus of overseas terror recruiting by organizations like the Islamic State for Iraq and the Levant (ISIL),” Luger’s office said in a press release. “This cycle of terror recruiting has exclusively targeted Minnesota’s Somali community.”

Luger directly said Minnesota had a “problem” with terror recruiting, which he described as decentralized and widespread.

With all of that ruining the local community, you think this astute civilian has no right to carry a license plate that says FMUSLMS?

State to revoke anti-Muslim license plate

The Minnesota Department of Public Safety has apologized for issuing vanity license plates containing a slur against Muslims and said it will revoke them immediately after a photo of the plates caused a stir on social media over the weekend.

The personalized plates read “FMUSLMS.” A photo of the license plate on the back of a pickup, reportedly taken in St. Cloud, was posted on Facebook over the weekend by #UniteCloud, a grassroots organization that works to resolve cultural tension in the St. Cloud area.

“This personalized license plate should never have been issued; it is offensive and distasteful,” Bruce Gordon, spokesman for the Department of Public Safety, which oversees the Driver and Vehicle Services Division, wrote in a statement Monday (Feb. 22). “We are in process of revoking and taking possession of the plates today.”

The Driver and Vehicle Services Division is reviewing its process for approving personalized license plates and will immediately provide additional review and oversight of applications, Gordon wrote.

The license plates were issued in June 2015, according to DPS. The application was processed at a deputy registrar’s office in Foley, and reviewed by Driver and Vehicle Services.

The photo of the license plates generated numerous comments on Facebook and Twitter, with some asking why the license plates were approved and issued.

In Minnesota, personalized license plates are available for an additional fee. The application reads, “A personalized plate that offends public morals or decency may not be issued.”

Gov. Mark Dayton issued a statement Monday saying he was “appalled” that the plate was issued by the state agency.

“It is offensive, and the person who requested it should be ashamed,” the statement read. “That prejudice has no place in Minnesota.”

Dayton said he has instructed the commissioner of public safety to retrieve the plate as soon as possible and review agency procedures to ensure it does not happen again.

Natalie Ringsmuth, founder of #UniteCloud, said people have a First Amendment right to free speech, such as putting the slogan on a bumper sticker on their vehicle. But she said this case is different because the license plates are issued by the government.

“My concern is if ‘FMUSLMS’ is OK, what else is OK?” Ringsmuth asked. “FGAYS? FBLACKS?”

Jaylani Hussein, executive director of the Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said in a written statement that his organization plans to send a letter to the state asking for tighter oversight on personalized license plates.

“We are extremely concerned as a community that this type of expression of anti-Muslim (sentiment) is not only existing, but we also missed looking at it,” Hussein stated. “In a personalized license plate, there should be much more careful view because a lot of people who want to create certain types of messages.”

Ibrahim Hooper, national CAIR spokesman, said it’s not the first time racist or bigoted license plates have shown up around the country. He believes it’s “a symptom of the unfortunate mainstreaming of Islamophobia in our society.”

“In an overall atmosphere in which anti-Muslim bigotry is rising, it’s somehow seen as, ‘This is OK for me to do,’ ” Hooper said.

Despite recent media coverage of cultural tensions in St. Cloud, the community’s response to the license plate incident has been overwhelmingly supportive, said Haji Yusuf with #UniteCloud. He said the response shows that most people don’t feel that way toward Muslims.

“It’s not the majority. It’s a few people,” Yusuf said.

Living in St Cloud MN where CAIR MN holds almost celebrity status and speaks regularly at SCSU, we get lectured quite often about how bigoted we are, and the best part is that they just love to push a tiny bit tooooo far. Most everyone I know has about reached their limits and are beginning to speak out. The Red/Green alliance (leftist/Islamist) goes out of their way to find offenses and capture them to use for more evidence of their pitiful plight. Yet the stories of police, teachers and medical personnel who “look the other way” at outright illegal activities, don’t have a chance of being heard because the law fare that CAIR uses to intimidate, threaten and silence us has been very successful. But, the tide is turning. Americans are as stupid as most think. And they are fighters, born of good strong stock.

Hee Hee, the first thing I was gonna do was to draw your attention to exactly that little typo, but then I noticed that the first Reply was you correcting yourself. (I’ve also had to reply to my own comments to self-correct … more than once ☺). The other thing I want to say is that I liked your “law fare” play on words; never heard that one before.

” He believes it’s ‘a symptom of the unfortunate mainstreaming of Islamophobia in our society.’ ” – No, it’s a symptom of mainstreaming of Islam and global terror in Our – as in Western – societies, of which you and Islam aren’t/never were a part of (Plagues, are not part of what they infest, unless it’s Islam in an Islamic society.).

“He said the response shows that most people don’t feel that way toward Muslims.” – Maybe, over time, this Western society – in the U.S. – will supplant rationality for political correctness and act on the recognition (through thinking, not “feeling”) that Islam is an supremacist, intolerant, and genocidal ideology. If not, then everyone’s progeny is destined to experience Islamic hell on earth.

Fifty years ago population biologists condemned immigration by high birthrate cultures. The ignoramuses we trust to protect us have fucked us. Muslims should never been allowed in. NOW, is the time to expel them.

Islam is un-American.

Mostly America is un-Islamic. The seamlessly un-Islamic nature of America demands to be restored.

Hooper and all the other conspirators against us should be prosecuted, confined for two decades (without Qurans & prayer mats), then expelled as stateless undesirables.

No mosques, no Muslims. PERIOD.

I am willing to vote in a strong man, and I hope Trump is, to be our Cromwell to rid us of this pestilence, completely and forever. If Lincoln could suspend habeas corpus to keep dissident newspapers editors in jail till the Civil War’s ending, then Trump can attenuate the alleged “right” of Muslims to be present to destroy us.

Hey PAPPOR ☺ (I’m too lazy right now to write out your name in full, even though I love it … but I’m obviously not too lazy to write this even longer explanation ☺). Aaaaaaaanyway, I’ve got a little problem with “Islam is un-American”. The phrase is 100% spot-on, but rather exclusive. I reckon Islam is INHUMAN. That puts us non-Yanks on the team as well. We’ve also got a HUGE stake in this game, ya know?. (To all you wonderful people out there, please don’t make 1,000 jokes about stakes and Muslim hearts now. Let’s not stoop to Islamidiot level. We’re better than that, aren’t we?)
